Marin on theory


This position come after the 22th moves in Marin -Boudre Cannes 2002

Some days ago I write about Marin as a wonderful writer I will try to explain :I got his latest book on english opening (quality chess editor)as usual there are a lot of theorical lines and even novelties,this is great work of course but more than that I am impressed by the "words explanation"the way he show themes connected with the opening but that we find later in the middle games or endings,where usual autors of theorical books left us thinking ,Marin stays and explains what we can expect after the theorical lines(also very nice to see that he plays in his own games what he recommended in his books).For example :look at the position above:

we are out of the opening but Marin dont leave us alone an show  the mains strategical goals of the opening for example here how to play against the Bb8 and transform it into a useless piece.

Here Marin makes a general remark,saying that black position is very ok and can become active  ,only one thing is bad: the Bb8 bischop which can become a weakness :22...cxd5 [22...h4!] 23.exd5!? [23.cxd5 Bd7 24.Nb6 Bb5] 23...Bf5 24.Nd2 h4 25.b5! Bc7 [25...Bd7 26.Nb6 Bf5 27.Qf3] 26.b6 Bb8 It is done!Note that the bischop cant escape if the pawns b6 and d6 dont move! 27.Nc3 e4 28.Rce1 hxg3+ 29.fxg3 e3 30.Nb3 Bd7 31.Nd1 Ne5 [31...Ba4 32.Bxf6! (32.Nd4‚) 32...gxf6 33.Nd4] 32.Rf4 [32.Nxe3?! Neg4+ 33.Nxg4 Qxe2 34.Nxf6+ gxf6 35.Rxe2 Rxe2 36.Bxf6±] 32...Rc8 [32...g6!? 33.Qxe3 Nh5 34.Rff1] 33.Nxe3 Ng6 [33...g6] 34.Rff1 Ne4 35.Nd4 [35.Bxe4 Qxe4 36.Nd2 Qe7 37.Qh5+-] 35...Qg5 36.Bxe4! Rxe4 37.Qf3 Re7 38.Ndf5 Bxf5 39.Qxf5 Qxf5 40.Nxf5 [40.Nxf5 Rxe1 41.Rxe1 f6 42.Re7]  1-0

This kind of learning ,I will call patterns ,is very important because you can try to incorpore theses tools in your own games. Here is one of my blitz game where I tried the same idea:
Rated game, 3m + 1 chessbase server:

1.c4 Nc6 2.Nc3 e5 3.g3 f5 4.Bg2 Nf6 5.d3 Bc5 6.e3 0-0 7.Nge2 d6 8.0-0 f4?! (8...Qe8 9.d4 Bb6 10.Na4 Bd7 11.b3)
 9.exf4 Bg4 10.h3 Bxe2 11.Nxe2 exf4 12.d4 Bb6 13.Bxf4 Nh5 14.Be3 Qd7 15.b4!? a5 [15...Nxb4? 16.Rb1 Nc6 17.c5+-] 16.c5 Ba7 17.b5 Ne7 18.b6!? cxb6 19.cxb6 Bb8 [You see same pattern !19...Bxb6? 20.Qb3+ Kh8 21.Qxb6] 20.d5 Nf5 21.Bd4 Nf6 22.Bb2 Qb5 23.Rb1 Qc4 24.Nd4 Nxd4 25.Qxd4 Qxa2  and now 26.Qe3± is winning ,black plays without the Bb8 and the rook a8 forever if white is careful
